Lott Housing Authority

Lott Housing Authority, a U.S. government entity headquartered in Lott, Texas, is the recipient of federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office for public housing capital improvements and operating expenses; the authority does not function as a prime contractor on federal service or supply contracts and does not subcontract.

Lott Housing Authority operates as a public housing agency under the statutory framework of the United States Housing Act of 1937. The authority receives formula-based grant allocations rather than competing for contract awards. All 47 awards in the source data—100% of the authority's federal funding footprint—originate from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority has no federal contract vehicles, no contract prime awardees, and no contract subcontractors; it acts exclusively as a federal grant recipient.

The authority's recent federal grant portfolio consists of two recurring, formula-allocated grant programs. Under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), the authority received a $137,294 grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, and prior allocations in 2025, 2024, and 2022. These capital grants fund modernization projects, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency enhancements, and development activities outlined in HUD-approved five-year action plans and regulatory requirements under 24 CFR Part 905. Under the Public Housing Operating Fund, the authority received allocations effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, and prior allocations in 2025, 2024, and 2023. Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational expenses including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. All grant awards are formula-based allocations calculated by HUD using characteristics of the authority's public housing inventory—unit counts, building age, construction costs—rather than through competitive application processes. The authority operates as part of a nationwide network of approximately 2,770 public housing agencies serving nearly one million units across all fifty states and territories.

The authority's combined dollars obligated across all awards total $3.5 million. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. As a small housing authority operating within the statutory structure of the 1937 Housing Act, Lott Housing Authority does not participate in federal contracting vehicles, competitive procurement, or vendor relationships; it is a pass-through federal grant recipient.
